Rating systems are great because you know precisely how you're doing in chess. Gary's idea is apply that to your life. How do you set a quote rating system in the different aspects of your life you care about? For us, we always come back to the big three: energy, work, and love, right? Who are you at your best in your energy, in your work and how you're showing up productively, and who are you in your relationship? How do you rate yourself there? And when you're falling short, the more you're going to improve. They've done research on this. You can give people a pedometer to measure their number of steps, and people who have a pedometer versus those who don't in the study walk a mile more than the people without a pedometer. So simply tracking your steps is a rating system.
